Exclusive: Hrithik Roshan gives the node to YRF’s next action film

Actor Hrithik Roshan will be seen in an action adventure film to be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya under the Yash Raj banner.

“We are making a film with Hrithik in the lead. The film has all elements like drama, action, humour, romance, song. It’s an action adventure film. It’s not the film in ‘Dhoom’ series,” sources said.

The “Dhoom 3” director is yet to finalize the leading lady of the film. “The film will go on floors mid this year. The announcement will be made soon regarding all the details of the project,” sources said.

The film has been in the news for a long time. The sources close to Hrithik says that earlier he was hesitant to do an action film after the critics bashed Bang Bang. He wanted YRF to emphasize more on script rather than VFX. The production house agreed to the actor’s demands.

Hrithik will be seen next in Ashutosh Gowariker’s “Mohenjodaro”, a period drama. He also has a film with filmmaker Sanjay Gupta which will be produced by Rakesh Roshan.
